He is not sure where the defense will align, where they will blitz from, and what techniques they are playing in their defense. A proactive play caller sees the defense as a predictable opponent. That opponent has predictable defensive alignments which allows him to know where the blitz can come from, and to identify specific defensive techniques which defenders are using to defend his run and pass plays.
